Data Centre heat reuse white paper published by EUDCA
The EUDCA's white paper highlights that nearly all electricity used by IT equipment becomes waste heat, which could be repurposed.
MAIN POINTS
- Nearly 100% of electricity used by IT equipment turns into waste heat.
- The amount of waste heat varies with computational load and ambient conditions.
- Waste heat from data centers could be a valuable resource.
TAKEAWAYS
- Repurposing waste heat can improve energy efficiency.
- Understanding heat dissipation patterns is crucial for optimizing data center operations.
- Data centers have significant potential for heat reuse.
